I do that sometimes, also with my scenarios that did go through H2H section gloriously and seemed balanced enough until they got played a # of times for the ladder.
The thing for me is that during times I'm interested in CS, it is better to spit out as many new scenarios as I can and not to lose too much time with testing as my interest in CS is always temporarily.
The other thing is that IMO players are too subjective, and too mixed in game skills to test thoroughly on balance (unless you really screwed up the scn). Research, OOB, map and plain design mistakes I don't really make anymore.
Ofcourse I do one or two testruns, mostly against Rod, Jason or David Galster after I already played the scn as "hotseat" against myself. Testing against AI is useless, unless you include some good parameters for play against AI.
That doesn't mean I won't ever post a scn in H2H anymore. I might do that again and see what happens.
